They do this through the very right-brained activity of uncovering and inventing connections between disparate elements. <o:p></o:p></span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: navy;">They create story-systems to understand and explain events - essentially a religious activity. For whatever reason, it’s much easier for us to deal with our internal contents by projecting them into the world around us. These outward signs inevitably become carriers of the archetypal content and psychodrama latent in the seeker. <o:p></o:p></span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: navy;">Conspiracy theory also overcomes the strictures of literalism and the problems of simplistic thinking by experimenting with multiplicity of meaning. Ordinary events, people and signs become symbols bristling with complex, malleable, even contradictory meanings. Mystery is revived and idealized. Facts become more than the sum of their parts. Theory becomes poetry and even theology.”</span></i></b><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: navy;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Iranians prepare terror campaign inside U.S.</h1>

<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">SHORT INTRODUCTION </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">BY ALAN PETERS</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">For the record, we have been warning about the build up of Islamic infiltrators, mostly Iranians, all the way back to the very late Bush years by which time some 40,000 SUICIDERS had gradually gathered in the USA, not just terrorists but dedicated suicide bombers or those prepared to die for Islam.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">Then came Obama and the game escalated to beyond measure with tens of thousands of Palestinians imported into the USA at taxpayer costs and nearly a BILLION dollar budget as so-called "refugees"!</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">Prior to this the State Department made visas visitors from Iran and Arab countries, who no longer had to register on arrival and provide fingerprints plus "religious visas for Iranian clerics suddenly became "ask and receive" the latter abused the "religious" rights, set up, ran and coordinated Islamic anti-American terrorism activity throughout Shia mosques around America and among Sunni collaborating organizations. </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">Like those formed by Obama's buddies the Moslem Brotherhood, which operates in part treacherously from inside the White House! Perhaps "treasonously" would apply here for those like Obama, who aid and abet them.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">Our worst enemy is from <span style="background-color: yellow;">within our own country</span> and our feckless leadership from the White House and their pro-Islamic policies.</span></b></div>

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is alive and well in the U.S. and the country’s law enforcement officials ignore them at their peril, according to former U. S. Air Force officer Steven O’Hern.<br />
<br />
O’Hern says that the Revolutionary Guard, long an influential factor in the radical Islamic regime in Iran, does most of its surveillance and intelligence gathering through its proxy force, Hezbollah, considered by many to be a terror group.<br />

“In the United States, the Revolutionary Guard uses more than one approach. Hezbollah operatives and sympathizers are present in large numbers in many parts of the United States and actively conduct reconnaissance missions that develop information, photographs, and diagrams of federal buildings, and infrastructure targets,” O’Hern said.<br />
<br />
“Those targets include such things as water utilities or electrical substations, and other potential targets to give the Guard the ability to quickly order a terrorist strike in our homeland,” O’Hern said.<br />
<br />
He explains that the Revolutionary Guard is working through Shi’a mosques around the United States as well as the nation’s Lebanese immigrant communities.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/army-of-iran-sadists-poised-for-u-s-invasion/">WND previously reported that a former Iranian official who has knowledge of Iran’s terror network</a> estimated there are more than 40,000 of the regime’s security, intelligence and propaganda forces in the West, largely in friendly South American nations.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/iran-turning-u-s-mosques-into-command-centers/">And WND has reported that Muslims </a>are using mosques, including some in the United States, as terror command centers.<br />
<br />
It is the Guards’ intelligence office that runs financing, recruiting and other strategies through Islamic centers and mosques, including some in New York and Ohio.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/iran-threatens-to-bring-war-to-u-s-shores/">And as early as several months ago, the Guard threatened to bring its war to the shores of the United States.</a><br />
O’Hern, who has written <a href="http://www.stevenohern.com/">“Iran’s Revolutionary Guard,”</a> about the issue, said the primary mission of the Iran Revolutionary Guard and its Hezbollah proxy is to weaken the U. S. national security.<br />
<br />
“In the United States, the Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah have a long-term mission of gathering intelligence on homeland targets and maintaining the capability to deliver multiple terrorist attacks if the IRGC chooses to do so,” O’Hern said. “I say ‘maintain’ because the Guard has already developed it.”<br />
<br />
He said attacks could be ordered in retaliation if Iran’s nuclear program is hit, or, “Sleeper cells could even be ordered into action if economic sanctions were so successful that the regime was in danger.”<br />
<br />
“Attacks against the U.S. homeland are only one place where the IRGC can strike – it also can attack U.S. troops and facilities in Afghanistan, Africa, Europe, all of which are closer,” O’Hern said.<br />
<br />
O’Hern’s findings are affirmed by the analysis of a former Defense Department analyst who has asked not to be named for security reasons. The analyst points to the major Arab-American communities in the major cities, especially in Dearborn, Mich., and the San Francisco Bay area.<br />
“It is my sense that IRGC will rely more on Hezbollah in the U.S. than having their own operatives here. The reason for that is Hezbollah presence is primarily through the concentration of the Arab-American communities, mainly Lebanese, throughout the U.S., such as in Michigan and elsewhere,” the source said.<br />
<br />
Former FBI counterterrorism officer and Islam analyst John Guandolo agrees that the Revolutionary Guard has a presence in the United States, and it operates through the major Shi’a communities.<br />
<br />
“This is the Iranian government’s military activity in the U.S,” he said.<br />
Guandolo, who established <a href="http://www.guandoloassociatesllc.com/index.html"> Guandolo and Associates in 2012, </a>says that when it comes to working to undermine non-Muslim countries, Shi’a and Sunni Muslims work together.<br />
<br />
“We do know the Sunni and Shi’a groups that are hostile to the United States are working together. In Lebanon, Iraq, and other places we see Hezbollah, by Iran, and Hamas with al-Qaida, working together on the ground,” Guandolo said.<br />
<br />
“In the United States, the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization, the Islamic Society of North America, put forth the ISNA Code of Honor which says Sunni Muslims will not challenge other Muslims, the Shi’a, on their Takfiri, their legitimacy,” Guandolo said.<br />
<br />
“All Muslims are focused on a similar goal. In other words, the Muslim world is working towards one goal right now and they have written agreements and are working on the ground around the world together,” Guandolo said, “So, yes, Hamas, CAIR works with Hezbollah, which is basically the IRGC.”<br />
<br />
The former Defense Department analyst says the Revolutionary Guard operates the same way worldwide.<br />
<br />
“That is similar in Africa and Latin America. Like Iran, Hezbollah is mainly Shi’a, although it will have some Sunnis and even some Christian Lebanese who are sympathetic here,” the former Defense Department analyst said.<br />
<br />
“There is a major Hezbollah contingent, for example, in Canada. It would be much easier for Iran to work through them and the extensive Lebanese communities throughout the U.S. than to seek to establish a major independent presence,” the Defense Department analyst said.<br />
<br />
Still, he said, it’s possible that the IRGC itself may have operational units working in the United States.<br />
<br />
“However, I don’t doubt that IRGC may have some operatives here acting as liaison with the Hezbollah elements here. In Lebanon, the IRGC presence is more open with representatives working out of the Iranian embassy in Beirut,” the Defense Department analyst said.<br />
<br />
A former CIA station chief agrees, concluding that in the final analysis, Muslims will work together in combating their major enemy, the United States.<br />
<br />
“Like al-Qaida in Sunni mosques, any Lebanese Shi’a or Hezbollah member here is a de facto Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps terrorist. Some 20 percent of all mosques in the U.S. are Shi’a, therefore they are de facto representatives of the Revolutionary Guard,” the former CIA station chief said.<br />
<br />
O’Hern says that the IRGC and Hezbollah fund their operations through a set of illegal activities.<br />
<br />
“Hezbollah harvests large amounts of money from the United States to support its operations – millions of dollars from criminal enterprises such as narcotics trafficking, the sale of counterfeit goods, and financial crimes are sent back to Hezbollah from our country every year,” O’Hern said.<br />
<br />
WND reported in September 2011 that IRGC proxy Hezbollah had been suspected of funding operations by raising money through the network of U.S. Shi’a mosques located in cities with large Lebanese immigrant populations.<br />
<br />
Former Air Force and State Department security officer Dave Gaubatz says it appears the reason for raising money is to give money to Hezbollah.<br />
<br />

Muslim cleric preaches peace, Islamic supremacists promptly shoot him dead</h1>
</div>
<div class="asset-content entry-content">
<div class="asset-body">
Why we don't see more genuine Muslim reformers -- not that Kalimulla Ibragimov seems to have been much of one, anyway: "Russia Caucasus: Imam shot dead in Derbent, Dagestan," from the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20136051" target="_blank">BBC</a>, October 30 (thanks to <a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/" target="_blank">The Religion of Peace</a>):<br />
<blockquote>
Attackers have shot dead an imam and two of his male relations, as they drove to a mosque in the Russian North Caucasus region of Dagestan.They were shot on their way to morning prayers, close to the imam's home in the Caspian Sea town of Derbent, law enforcement sources told reporters.<br />
The cleric was named as Kalimulla Ibragimov, 49, who is said to have delivered sermons calling for peace. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Islamists have been blamed for attacks on moderate Muslims in the region. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Dagestan, a mainly Muslim region, has been gripped by an Islamist insurgency since 1999, when militants backed by fighters from neighbouring Chechnya launched an offensive against Russian control. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Three imams have been shot dead in the region since March, the Russian news website utro.ru reports. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Mr Ibragimov is said by Russian media to have been a "Salafist", a term used for Islamic radicals. Nonetheless, according to utro.ru, he "often gave sermons and made appeals for peace and Muslim unity"....</blockquote>

You want peace rafadite dog, we will give you peace...<br />
Allah didn't tell us to be peaceful you apostate, <b><span style="color: red;">his book tells us to fight and kill until everyone worships him.</span></b>..You claim to worship Allah, but you really worship yourself...Did the Apostle tell us to be peaceful? Even with Jews? Are you mad? Well, you are not mad anymore, Allah now has you by your skinny little neck, and has big plans for you...<br />
That's what you get for preaching peace...Allah willing, and he always is...</div>

Mahoundians want peace...They really do...But their peace is not the peace of kuffar, it is the Islamic fulfillment of Quran 8:39, and 2:193...<b style="background-color: lime;">Peace will come when all opposition to Islam stops and everyone worships Allah.</b>..<br />
The big problem is, 'fight them until'...Since 'until' has no expiration date, perpetual warfare is the result...As an unintended consequence, if Islam ever gets that kind of peace, and there is no one to fight or kill, it shuts the door for jihadists to get at the virgins...The brothel in the sky will lock the door so no new dead jihadists can enter...keeping that door open is another reason for perpetual warfare...</div>

Well, Muslims killing other Muslims is definitely preferable to Muslims killing non-Muslims but, oh man, Islam is so screwed up. It kidnaps the mind and often ensures bodily harm and for what? For Allah? The sanctity of the Koran? For Mohammed? What a waste. There's no reforming this monster of a "religion". It's got to go.</div>

"Islamists have been blamed for attacks on moderate Muslims in the region."<br />
What the reporter meant to say was:<br />
"Wild hyenas have been blamed for attacks on unicorns in the region."<br />
All seriousness aside, as Steve Allen used to say: This reporter is doing two things:<br />
1) reporting the fact that one group of Muslims killed a Muslim cleric<br />
2) <i>inferring</i> from this fact that the reason he was killed was because he preached "peace".<br />
This reflex spasm of the reporter reflects the tendency of the PC MC template. It works like a machine: Whenever a fact presents itself, it already has pre-fab axioms which engage their gears into interpretive action. <br />
Thus, a PC MC notices one group of Muslims killing another. Immediately, his PC MC brain releases the <i>the killed victims must have been moderate Muslims, and the killers must have been 'Salafists'</i> mechanism.<br />
In this case, the victim was himself a 'Salafist'. No need for concern; it must have been a blip. And notice how the reporter just leaves that fact lying there like an undigested lump. He was so intent on interpreting all the other facts of the report, but now suddenly he has nothing ot say about this one.<br />
Also, we have a glimmer into the truth of the matter in the fact -- also undigested -- that this preacher also preached, beside "peace" (which in Islam can mean many things we don't recognize as "peace"), "Muslim unity".<br />
The far more reasonable interpretation to draw from the facts is that this was <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>The Crips taking out a Blood.</b></span></div>

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Shooting in Dagestan is not news. There are plenty of insurgent groups, remnants of the civil war in Chechnya and Dagestan. Their motivations are usually far from religious ones. More like tribal or simply criminal. Besides, Kalimulla Ibragimov wasn't even official cleric according to Russian news media <a href="http://ria.ru/crime/20121030/907935827.html" rel="nofollow">http://ria.ru/crime/20121030/907935827.html</a></div>

"Their motivations are usually far from religious ones. More like tribal or simply criminal."<br />
Since Islam is a Super-Tribe and a Super-Gang, then most of its violent activities are "tribal" and "criminal" <i>in addition to</i> being religious.<br />
Thus, two flaws in the thought process of killdameatbag:<br />
1) he assumes a <i>religion</i> must always be benign <br />
2) he apparently can't pat his head and rub his stomach at the same time: i.e., an incident of Muslim violence can be <i>both</i> tribal/criminal <i>and</i> Islamic; one needn't stand off in the self-imposed corner of Either/Or.<br />
I take the trouble to point this out because killdameatbag is not the only one in the "Counter-Jihad" to think this way.<br />
This first flaw tends to underestimate the degree and quality of the fanaticism we face from this unique enemy.<br />
The second flaw tends to bracket out innumerable acts of violence around the world from the problem of Islam.<br />
Both flaws would undermine our ability to practice the #1 law of war to the fullest: Know Thine Enemy.</div>

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Demurely dressed in a high-necked
jumper on a chilly autumn day, the pretty 20-year-old brunette could be any
university student.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But this photograph posted on
Facebook shows Xi Mingze, the new 'princess' of China.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">As the cherished only daughter of
China's new president Xi Jinping, Ms Xi, nicknamed Muzi, is being expensively
educated </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">in the US, where she has been enrolled under a pseudonym since 2010 at
Harvard University, Massachusetts.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">'She is a bookworm, very quiet and
studious,' one of her acquaintances, a Chinese writer, told The Mail on Sunday
last night.</span><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Though she is said to be protected by
bodyguards, she has shunned the party lifestyle of another Chinese 'princeling'
at Harvard, Bo Guagua.</span><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mr Bo, whose mother Gu Kailai
murdered British businessman Neil Heywood, was renowned at Oxford and Harvard as
a playboy. His politician father, Bo Xilai, faces corruption charges.
</span><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">In contrast, friends of Ms Xi
say she devotes herself to her courses, which include political studies. She
attended a discussion last spring about the political tumult convulsing China's
Communist Party, where she reportedly listened 'intently' from the top row of
the lecture hall.</span></span></div>

Iran must be President Obama’s immediate priority</span></h1>
<h3 property="dc.creator">
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">
By Henry A. Kissinger, <span class="timestamp updated processed" contenttype="article" datetitle="published" epochtime="1353113820000" pagetype="leaf">Published: November
16</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Henry A. Kissinger was secretary of state from 1973 to 1977. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">In the aftermath of an exhausting reelection campaign, the most urgent
decision facing the president is how to stop Iran from pursuing a military
nuclear program. Presidents of both parties have long declared that “no option
is off the table” in securing this goal. In the third presidential debate, the
candidates agreed that this was a matter of the American national interest, even
as they described the objective alternately as preventing an Iranian “nuclear
weapon” or “breakout capacity” (President Obama), or a “nuclear-capable Iran”
(Mitt Romney). As Iran continues to elaborate its enrichment capacity and move
it underground, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a spring
deadline for counteraction. In this fraught environment, what operational
meaning should be given to America’s declared objectives?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">The United States and Iran are apparently conducting bilateral negotiations
through official or semiofficial emissaries — a departure from the previous
procedure of multilateral talks. Negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program do not
have an encouraging record. For more than a decade, Iran has stalled, first with
the “EU-3” (France, Germany and Britain) and then with the “P5+1” (the members
of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany). It has alternated hints of
flexibility with periods of intransigence, all while expanding, concealing and
dispersing its nuclear facilities. If no limit is placed on this process, Iran’s
technological progress will dominate events. But at what stage, and in what
manner, should Iran be deprived of a military nuclear capability? This has been
the essence of the argument over “red lines.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Three stages are involved in the evolution of a military nuclear
capability: a delivery system, a capacity to enrich uranium and the production
of nuclear warheads. Iran has been augmenting the range and number of its
missile systems since at least 2006. Its enrichment capacity — long
underreported to the International Atomic Energy Agency — has been expanded to
thousands of centrifuges (the instruments that enrich uranium to bomb-grade
material). The level exceeds any reasonable definition of peaceful uses
authorized by the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The inevitable culmination is a
nuclear weapon.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">To draw the line at proscribing an Iranian nuclear weapon — as some argue —
would prove unmanageable. Once the requisite amount of fissile material has been
produced, constructing and equipping a warhead is a relatively short and
technologically straightforward process, almost certainly impossible to detect
in a timely fashion.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">If so ineffectual a red line were to emerge from a decade of diplomacy by
the permanent members of the Security Council, the result would be an
essentially uncontrollable military nuclear proliferation throughout a region
roiled by revolution and sectarian blood-feuds. Iran would thereby achieve the
status of North Korea, with a military nuclear program at the very edge of going
operational. Each nation that has a nuclear option would compete to minimize the
time to its own full military nuclear capability. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Meanwhile, countries within
the reach of Iran’s military but lacking a nuclear option would be driven to
reorient their political alignment toward Tehran. The reformist tendencies in
the Arab Spring — already under severe pressure — would be submerged by this
process. The president’s vision of progress toward a global reduction of nuclear
weapons would suffer a blow, perhaps a fatal one. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Some have argued that even in the worst-case scenario, a nuclear Iran could
be deterred. Yet this ignores the immensely costly, complex and tension-ridden
realities of Cold War-era deterrence, the apocalyptic strain in the Iranian
theocracy and the near-certainty that several regional powers will go nuclear if
Iran does. Once nuclear balances are forged in conditions where tensions are no
longer purely bilateral, as in the Cold War, and in still-developing countries
whose technology to prevent accidents is rudimentary, the likelihood of some
nuclear exchange will mount dramatically.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">This is why the United States has insisted on limits on Iranian enrichment
— that is, curtailing access to a weapon’s precursor elements. Abandoning the
original demand to ban <em>all</em> enrichment, the P5+1 has explored what
levels of production of fissile material are compatible with the peaceful uses
authorized by the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The higher the level of enrichment,
the shorter the time needed to bring about militarily applicable results.
Conventional wisdom holds that the highest practically enforceable limit is
5 percent enrichment, and then only if all fissile material beyond an agreed
amount is safeguarded outside Iran.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">The time available for a diplomatic outcome shrinks in direct proportion as
the Iranian enrichment capacity grows and a military nuclear capacity
approaches. The diplomatic process must therefore be brought to a point of
decision. The P5+1 or the United States unilaterally must put forward a precise
program to curtail Iranian enrichment with specific time limits. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">This does not imply a red line authorizing any country to go to war.
However respectfully the views of friends are considered, the ultimate decision
over peace or war must remain in the hands of the president. Why negotiate with
a country of such demonstrated hostility and evasiveness? Precisely because the
situation is so fraught. Diplomacy may reach an acceptable agreed outcome. Or
its failure will mobilize the American people and the world. It will clarify
either the causes of an escalating crisis, up to the level of military pressure,
or ultimate acquiescence in an Iranian nuclear program. Either outcome will
require a willingness to see it through to its ultimate implications. We cannot
afford another strategic disaster.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">To the extent that Iran shows willingness to conduct itself as a
nation-state, rather than a revolutionary religious cause, and accepts
enforceable verification, elements of Iranian security concerns should be taken
seriously, including gradual easing of sanctions as strict limits on enrichment
are implemented and enforced. But time will be urgent. Tehran must be made to
understand that the alternative to an agreement is not simply a further period
of negotiation and that using negotiations to gain time will have grave
consequences. A creative diplomacy, allied to a determined strategy, may still
be able to prevent a crisis provided the United States plays a decisive role in
defining permissible outcomes.</span></div>

Beach</a></h2>
<div class="postmetadata">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">December 2, 2004, 11:14 pm <!-- by admin --></span></div>
<div class="postentry">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Last week, there were several comments in Carnival of
the Capitalists that people would like to see more articles highlighting the
benefits of capitalism. This got me thinking about a conversation I had years
ago at the beach:</span></div>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;">
<div>
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hanging out at the beach one day with a distant
family member, we got into a discussion about capitalism and socialism. In
particular, we were arguing about whether brute labor, as socialism teaches, is
the source of all wealth (which, socialism further argues, is in turn stolen by
the capitalist masters). The young woman, as were most people her age, was
taught mainly by the socialists who dominate college academia nowadays. I was
trying to find a way to connect with her, to get her to question her
assumptions, but was struggling because she really had not been taught many of
the fundamental building blocks of either philosophy or economics, but rather a
mish-mash of politically correct points of view that seem to substitute nowadays
for both.</span></em></div>
</blockquote>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">One of the reasons I took up writing a blog is
that I have never been as snappy or witty in real-time discussions as I would
like to be, and I generally think of the perfect comeback or argument minutes or
hours too late. I have always done better with writing, where I have time to
think. However, on this day, I had inspiration from a half-remembered story I
had heard before. I am sure I stole the following argument from someone, but to
this day I still can't remember from whom.</span></div>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;">
<div>
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I picked up a handful of sand, and said "this is
almost pure silicon, virtually identical to what powers a computer. Take as much
labor as you want, and build me a computer with it -- the only limitation is you
can only have true manual laborers - no engineers or managers or other
capitalist lackeys".</span></em></div>
</blockquote>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Yeah, I know what you're thinking - beach sand
is not pure silicon - it is actually silicon dioxide, SiO2, but if she didn't
take any economics she certainly didn't take any chemistry or
geology.</span></div>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;">
<div dir="ltr">
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">She replied that my request was BS, that it
took a lot of money to build an electronics plant, and her group of laborers
didn't have any and bankers would never lend them
any.</span></em></div>
</blockquote>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">All too many defenders of capitalism would have
stopped here, and said aha! So you admit you need more than labor - you need
capital too. But Marx would not have disagreed - he would have said it was the
separation of labor and capital that was bad - only when laborers owned the
capital, rather than being slaves to the ruling class that now controls the
capital, would the world reach nirvana. So I offered her just that:</span></div>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;">
<div dir="ltr">
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I told her - assume for our discussion that
I have tons of money, and I will give you and your laborers as much as you need.
The only restriction I put on it is that you may only buy raw materials - steel,
land, silicon - in their crudest forms. It is up to you to assemble these raw
materials, with your laborers, to build the factory and make me my
computer.</span></em></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">She thought for a few seconds, and responded
"but I can't - I don't know how. I need someone to tell me how to do
it"</span></em></div>
</blockquote>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And that is the heart of socialism's failure.
For the true source of wealth is not brute labor, or even what you might call
brute capital, but the mind. The mind creates new technologies, new products,
new business models, new productivity enhancements, in short, everything that
creates wealth. Labor or capital without a mind behind it is
useless.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<a href="http://www.fte.org/capitalism/introduction/02.php"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">From the year 1000 to the year 1700, the world's wealth, measured
as GDP per capita, was virtually unchanged</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana;">. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Since
1700, the GDP per capita in places like the US has risen, in real terms, over 40
fold. This is a real increase in total wealth - it is not money stolen or looted
or exploited. Wealthy nations like the US didn't "take" the wealth from
somewhere else - it never even existed before. It was created by the minds of
human beings.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">How? What changed? Historians who really study
this stuff would probably point to a jillion things, but in my mind two are
important:</span></div>
<ol dir="ltr">
<li>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There was a philosophical and intellectual change where
questioning established beliefs and social patterns went from being heresy and
unthinkable to being acceptable, and even in vogue. In other words, men, at
first just the elite but soon everyone, were urged to use their mind rather than
just relying on established beliefs</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There were social and political changes that greatly
increased the number of people capable of entrepreneurship. Before this time,
the vast vast majority of people were locked into social positions that allowed
them no flexibility to act on a good idea, even if they had one. By starting to
create a large and free middle class, first in the Netherlands and England and
then in the US, more people had the ability to use their mind to create new
wealth. Whereas before, perhaps 1% or less of any population really had the
freedom to truly act on their ideas, after 1700 many more people began to have
this freedom. </span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So today's wealth, and everything that goes with it
(from shorter work hours to longer life spans) is the result of more people
using their minds more freely.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Look around the world - for any country, ask yourself if
the average person in that country has the open intellectual climate that
encourages people to think for themselves, and the open political and economic
climate that allows people to act on the insights their minds provide and to
keep the fruits of their effort. Where you can answer yes to both, you will find
wealth and growth. Where you answer no to both, you will find poverty and
misery.</span> <span class="192564113-19112012"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>

</span>Sheriff
Ross Mirkarimi and District Attorney George <span class="st">Gascón<em>
</em></span><a href="http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Ross-Mirkarimi-Is-a-Batterer-George-Gascon-143407076.html">aren't
exactly seeing eye to eye these days</a>. But if a common bond could be forged,
perhaps the first step to take would be uniting the warring city officials over
their shared sartorial senses. <br />
<br />
As police chief, Gascón was far more
likely than not to <a href="http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/rsz_1gascon_pictures_042.jpg">wander
into police headquarters dressed like a lawyer</a>. Gascón <i>is </i>a lawyer,
and Mirkarimi is not -- but, in the limited amount of time the sheriff has been
permitted to do the job he was elected to do, <a href="http://www.leoaffairs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/San-Francisco-Sheriff-Ross-Mirkarimi.jpg">he's
often outfitted like one</a>. <br />
<br />
So, it was a bit jarring to see Mirkarimi
<a href="http://www.fogcityjournal.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/2012/11/MW2W8726_std.jpg">clothed
in full sheriff's dress regalia during the weekend's Veteran's Day March</a>.
Decked out in a forest green uniform complete with gold-starred epaulets and
gold bands on an <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%22eisenhower+jacket%22&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=JUKlUMiSEIzQigLf9YCQCA&biw=1024&bih=613&sei=KEKlULeGFILOiwKe4YHwDQ">Eisenhower
jacket</a>, the progressive sheriff looks like he ought to be <a href="http://media.kansas.com/smedia/2010/03/25/14/AP441228011.slideshow_main.prod_affiliate.80.jpg">leaping
off a Jeep</a> and <a href="http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/indust.html">warning us
about the perils of the Military-Industrial Complex</a>. <br />
<br />
Yet while this
uniform might be a head-turner, it's actually something of a California
template. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=21671575" name="more"></a>Sheriff's department spokeswoman Susan Fahey
said the "Class A uniform" -- worn to inaugurations, funerals, and other
high-level events -- is essentially "standardized" throughout the state.
<br />
<br />
Even the longest-serving sheriffs couldn't remember wearing anything
much different, other than a sea change in 1999 or 2000 when the department
pulled the trigger and made the shift from <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%22British+Green%22&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=Epl&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ZEOlUNaAGc3qiQLgooG4Dw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&biw=1024&bih=613">British
green</a> to <a href="http://www.art-paints.com/Paints/Ceramic/Duncan/Cover-Coat-Underglaze/Forest-Green/Forest-Green.gif">forest
green</a>. Those were heady times. <br />
<br />
Calls to the <a href="http://www.calsheriffs.org/">California State Sheriffs' Association</a>
querying why sheriffs' duds look like a cross between <a href="http://asp.militarygear.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/green.jpg">military
officers </a>and <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Mary_Bomar.jpg/220px-Mary_Bomar.jpg">park
rangers</a> have not yet been answered. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.calsheriffs.org/about-us/board-of-directors.html">A quick
glance at the association's board of directors</a>, however, reveals that Fahey
is right -- there is a fairly standard template of sheriff's dress uniforms.
<br />
<br />
More when we know more about this most pressing situation.

Stories</span><b><br /></b><strong><br />Reuters:</strong> "A Chinese firm has
stopped verifying safety and environmental standards for Iranian ships, becoming
the last top certification provider to end marine work there as the trade noose
on Tehran tightens. The China Classification Society (CCS) is the last of the
world's top 13 such companies, all members of the International Association of
Classification Societies (IACS), to confirm it has ended Iran-related
certification work, key to insurance and ports access for ships... A letter seen
by Reuters dated November 15 showed Beijing-headquartered CCS had not provided
certification services to Iranian ships since June 28. It had been urged to pull
out by U.S. pressure group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) and clarify its
position. 'Currently there is not any ship flying an Iranian flag or owned by an
Iranian ship owner in our fleet, and we have not conducted any statutory survey
for any Iranian ship,' CCS chairman and president Sun Licheng said in the letter
to UANI dated November 15... A targeted campaign by UANI, which includes former
U.S. ambassadors as well as former CIA and British intelligence chiefs on its
board and is funded by private donations, has already led to other top
classification societies exiting Iran. Without certification from classification
societies, vessels are unable to secure insurance cover or call at most
international ports. UANI's Wallace on Wednesday welcomed the move by CCS, but
sought harsher measures being imposed on Iran's fleet. 'All of the world's major
shipping certifiers have now ended their certification of Iranian vessels,' said
Wallace, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. 'We call for even
tougher sanctions: any vessel that docks in Iran or transports Iranian cargo
should be barred from accessing ports in the U.S., EU, or elsewhere.'"

<strong>Reuters:</strong> "Hong Kong has
deregistered five Iranian cargo ships and a further 14 are likely to follow
after their classification society quit Iran due to sanctions imposed by the
European Union and the United States over its nuclear programme... Hong Kong's
marine department has asked the owners of 19 dry bulk carriers, managed by an
Iranian firm, to register their ships elsewhere after the Korean Register of
Shipping said earlier this year it would not provide the ships safety
auditing... Hong Kong had been urged by U.S. pressure group United Against
Nuclear Iran (UANI) to deflag the 19 dry bulk ships, which the group said were
owned, managed or operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line (IRISL)
and its associated companies. In a reply to UANI dated November 9 Wong said it
was of paramount importance to Hong Kong's marine department in safeguarding the
quality of Hong Kong ships." http://t.uani.com/V0CToV

<br />
<strong>Reuters:</strong> "Six world powers agreed on Wednesday to seek
renewed talks with Iran as fast as possible, reflecting a heightened sense of
urgency to resolve a long rift over Tehran's disputed nuclear activity and avert
the threat of war. Their call coincided with growing evidence of Iran expanding
nuclear capacity in an underground bunker virtually impervious to attack and
follows the November 6 re-election of U.S. President Barack Obama, which has
cleared the way for new contacts. Senior diplomats from the six countries - the
United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany - met in Brussels on
Wednesday to consider new negotiating tactics despite abiding skepticism that a
deal with Tehran can be reached. It was not clear after the meeting what
options, if any, were agreed. But the six said 'necessary contact' with the
Iranians would be made 'in the coming days'. 'The (six powers) are committed to
having another round of talks with Iran as soon as possible,' said a spokesman
for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who represents the six countries
in dealings with Iran." http://t.uani.com/V0FX4m<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>Reuters:</strong>
"Iran has been hauling dirt to a military site U.N. nuclear inspectors want to
visit, Western diplomats said on Wednesday, saying the findings were based on
satellite images and they reinforced suspicions of a clean-up. They said the
pictures, presented during a closed-door briefing for member states of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), suggested Iran was continuing to try
to hide incriminating traces of any illicit nuclear-related activity. The
allegations come a few days after the IAEA said in a report on Iran that
'extensive activities' undertaken at the Parchin site since early this year
would seriously undermine its inquiry, if and when inspectors were allowed
access. Iran has so far denied the agency's request for a visit. The U.N. agency
believes Iran may have conducted explosives tests that could help develop
nuclear weapons at Parchin and wants immediate access to investigate the
facility. Iran denies this, saying Parchin is a conventional military complex."

<strong>NYT:</strong> "The conflict that ended,
for now, in a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel seemed like the latest episode
in a periodic showdown. But there was a second, strategic agenda unfolding,
according to American and Israeli officials: The exchange was something of a
practice run for any future armed confrontation with Iran, featuring improved
rockets that can reach Jerusalem and new antimissile systems to counter them. It
is Iran, of course, that most preoccupies Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
President Obama. While disagreeing on tactics, both have made it clear that time
is short, probably measured in months, to resolve the standoff over Iran's
nuclear program. And one key to their war-gaming has been cutting off Iran's
ability to slip next-generation missiles into the Gaza Strip or Lebanon, where
they could be launched by Iran's surrogates, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad,
during any crisis over sanctions or an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear
facilities. Michael B. Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States and a
military historian, likened the insertion of Iranian missiles into Gaza to the
Cuban missile crisis. 'In the Cuban missile crisis, the U.S. was not confronting
Cuba, but rather the Soviet Union,' Mr. Oren said Wednesday, as the cease-fire
was declared. 'In Operation Pillar of Defense,' the name the Israel Defense
Force gave the Gaza operation, 'Israel was not confronting Gaza, but Iran.'"

<strong>Reuters:</strong> "Israel has a
'childish' desire to attack Iran and Tehran is capable of defending itself,
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday. 'They wish to hurt the
Iranian nation. They are waiting for the chance. They known that Iran does not
attack anybody and they know that Iran knows how to defend itself,' he told a
news conference in the Pakistani capital Islamabad. 'We don't accept the
hegemony of Israel. They wish to attack Iran but it is like a childish desire.'
He was speaking after attending a summit of developing nations."

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Sanctions</strong></span><strong><br /><br />In
Auto News:</strong> "After giant international automaker left Iran due to the
sanctions on the nuclear programme, the country now relies on Peugeot to revive
the auto industry here. Iran currently has to deal with increasing production
costs and lack of technology on how to manufacture vehicles, after the world's
most important automakers, such as Toyota, GM, Fiat, Hyundai and PSA Peugeot
Citroen, were forced to leave the country due to the disputed nuclear programme.
In September auto production in Iran dropped 66% from September 2011, and during
the first half of the Iranian solar year, which began on March 19th, auto
production fell 42%... On November 18th, the Iranian Industry Committee
announced that Peugeot might return to the Iranian market, which would mean an
increase in the country's car input. Although Peugeot has not yet officially
confirmed this plan, its situation in Europe might force the automaker to make
this step, also taking into consideration that Iran was its second major
market." http://t.uani.com/10nu5tD <br />
<br />
<strong>Platts:</strong> "China's
imports of crude oil from Iran in October fell 23.2% year on year to 1.94
million mt (458,716 b/d), but were up 23.3% on month, according to data from the
General Administration of Customs received by Platts late Thursday. Iran
remained China's fifth largest supplier of crude in October, similar to
September. That is down from being the third largest supplier in August. In the
first 10 months of the year, total Iranian crude imports were 17.73 million mt,
down 22.2% from the same period a year ago. On June 28, China received a US
exemption from sanctions levied against countries who trade with Iran for 180
days, with Washington saying China had significantly reduced its crude purchases
from Iran. A renewal of the waiver is due December 25 and the US State
Department said previously it would be dependent on further significant
reductions of crude imports from Iran. China's total crude oil imports in
October rose 13.8% year on year to 23.68 million mt (5.6 million b/d), the third
highest level this year on a b/d basis, following the record 6.02 million b/d
seen in May and 5.98 million b/d in February."

<br />
<strong>WashPost:</strong> "Iran is facing a
possible crisis in its health-care system as a result of economic sanctions and
alleged government mismanagement of diminishing state funds, according to
officials here. The lack of money is already being felt in hospitals throughout
Iran, where medical staffs have been told that they are working in 'war-time
conditions' and should prescribe drugs sparingly - or in many cases, not all -
in an effort to save resources... The scarcity derives from a complicated set of
circumstances that includes both a heavy dose of Western sanctions, which are
aimed at forcing Iran's leaders to halt their uranium-enrichment program, as
well as what critics here say are missteps by the government. While some of the
anger over the shortages has been directed at the United States and other global
powers, there has also been an internal backlash. Hosseinali Shahriari, the head
of parliament's health committee, said this month that 'the government is
playing with our people's health and is not assigning the approved finances.'"

<strong>AFP:</strong> "Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Thursday vowed to complete a mutli-billion dollar gas
pipeline to Pakistan on time, downplaying financial woes and US pressure on
Islamabad to scrap the project. Pakistan and Iran signed a deal in 2010 under
which Tehran would supply gas to its eastern neighbour from 2014, with sales to
reach up to one billion cubic feet (28 million cubic metres) per day by
mid-2015. The project envisaged a pipeline, 900 kilometres (560 miles) in length
built from Assaluyeh in southern Iran to the border with Pakistan. Another 800
kilometres pipeline was also needed inside Pakistan to receive gas from Iran's
South Pars field in the Gulf. 'We want to complete this project by 2014,'
Ahmadinejad told a press conference in Islamabad."

<strong>The Nation (Pakistan):</strong>
"Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) and the Securities and Exchange
Organization (SEO) - Iran entered into MoU in Tehran on Thursday wherein PACRA
will provide technical assistance in establishing a credit rating regime in
Iran. Under the MoU, PACRA shall prepare regulatory framework for regulating the
credit rating business in Iran and in establishing rating agencies in Iran.
PACRA is one of the two Pakistani CRAs that provides credit rating services in
various countries. In order to enhance cooperation and assistance to each other
in the areas of interest, SECP and SEO-Iran had constituted a Liaison Committee
that is entrusted with the task of exploring areas of assistance to each other.
During a meeting in October 2011, SECP arranged a meeting of both the domestic
CRAs with an Iranian delegation visiting Pakistan and the Iranian delegation
desired to seek assistance of SECP for the development of regulatory framework
for regulating the credit rating business in Iran."

as average Iranians are too busy trying to cope with rising prices and
occasional shortages brought about by a faltering economy. But Iran's missiles
and weapons technology are getting plenty of attention hundreds of miles away in
Gaza, giving the country's ruling clerics a rare bit of good news in what has
otherwise been a long, dismal year... Throughout the battle, Iranian-designed
missiles, the Fajr-3 and the Fajr-5 that allowed Hamas and another Gaza-based
movement, Islamic Jihad, to hit Israel's heartland, sent Israelis fleeing to
bomb shelters. While political support and money helps, Palestinian leaders
said, Iran's weapons technology is a far greater help." http://t.uani.com/Tir2R9

<strong>AFP:</strong> "Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal said on Wednesday that
Israel had 'failed in all its goals' after a Gaza truce deal came into effect,
while thanking Egypt and Iran for their support during the conflict. 'After
eight days, God stayed their hand from the people of Gaza, and they were
compelled to submit to the conditions of the resistance,' Meshaal said. 'Israel
has failed in all its goals,' he told reporters in a Cairo hotel. Meshaal also
thanked ceasefire mediator Egypt, as well as Iran, which he said 'had a role in
arming' his Islamist movement during the conflict." http://t.uani.com/Ui2SWR
<br />
<br />
<strong>AFP:</strong> "Israel and the United States have agreed to work
together to prevent the smuggling of weapons from Iran to militant groups in the
Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday. 'Israel cannot
sit idly by as its enemies strengthen themselves with weapons of terror so I
agreed with President (Barack) Obama that we will work together -- Israel and
the United States -- against the smuggling of weapons to terror organisations,
most of which comes from Iran,' he said in a televised address."

<br />
<strong>LAT:</strong> "Iran for years has
supplied Hamas with weapons as part of its own struggle against Israel, but the
conflict in the Gaza Strip reveals a shift in regional dynamics that may
diminish Tehran's influence with Palestinian militant groups and strengthen the
hand of Egypt. The longer-range missiles fired by Hamas over the last week -
believed to be modifications of Iran's Fajr 5 missiles - startled Israel by
landing near Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. A front-page story in Iran's conservative
daily, Kayhan, boasted: 'The missiles of resistance worked.' Tehran would not
confirm the weapons' origin, except to say it sent rocket 'technology' to
Hamas... But the Gaza fighting erupted during a new era in the Middle East
brought about by the rise of Islamist governments, notably in Egypt, that have
replaced pro-Western autocrats. The political catharsis has spurred
anti-Americanism, which Iran relishes, but it also has upset Tehran's regional
designs." http://t.uani.com/R43cZW <br />
<br />
<strong>Reuters:</strong> "Iran
reacted angrily to assertions by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and
accused him of not understanding the realities in the region after the diplomat
accused Tehran of being responsible for the Gaza conflict. On Wednesday Fabius
accused Iran of negative intentions in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Gaza and that it
bore a 'heavy responsibility' for the fighting for providing long-range
weapons." http://t.uani.com/WEqNSw <br />

<strong>NYT:</strong> "Eighteen years
have passed since a suicide bomber drove a Renault van loaded with explosives
into the headquarters of the Jewish community center here, killing 85 people.
Since then, investigations have meandered. Interpol arrest warrants have led
nowhere. Aging suspects connected to the attack have begun to die. But in the
elusive quest for justice in the bombing, which ranks among the deadliest
anti-Semitic attacks anywhere since World War II, few developments have riled
Argentina's Jewish leaders as much as the government's move in recent weeks to
improve relations with Iran, the nation shielding in the high echelons of its
political establishment various people accused by Argentine prosecutors of
having authorized the attack... 'We cannot comprehend this,' said Guillermo
Borger, the president of the Argentine Mutual Aid Association, the center that
was bombed in 1994. 'The world is shutting its doors to Iran, and we're giving
Iran a chance to say that Argentina is somehow now its friend. The Iranians have
not budged in their assertion that their people are innocent, so why should
Argentina be in dialogue with them?'" http://t.uani.com/TjvVZj<br />

<strong>Guardian:</strong> "The mother of an
Iranian blogger who died in custody has accused the authorities of killing her
son and launching an intimidation campaign against her family. Sattar Beheshti
was a 35-year-old blogger from the city of Robat-Karim who lost his life while
being interrogated by Iran's cyberpolice, accused of acting against the national
security because of what he had posted on Facebook. Iran's opposition activists
have accused the regime of torturing Beheshti to death. In jail, Beheshti had no
access to his family nor to a lawyer. Beheshti's mother, who has not been named
but is pictured with him in one of the only images available of him online, has
for the first time spoken out against the state pressure on her family not to
speak to the press. 'I have no fears. I can't accept that my son has died by
natural causes,' she told Sahamnews, a news website close to an Iranian
opposition leader, Mehdi Karroubi, who is under house arrest. 'My son has been
killed. He went to jail standing on his own legs and they gave us his dead
body.'" http://t.uani.com/TfnT1g <br />
<br />
<strong>Reuters:</strong> "Iran said on
Thursday a blogger who died while in police custody may have lost his life as a
result of a form of shock, the official IRNA news agency reported, adding that
investigations were not yet concluded. In a case that has sparked international
outrage, 35-year-old Sattar Beheshti who wrote a blog critical of the government
was arrested on October 30 after receiving death threats and died some days
later, having complained of being tortured. Under increasing pressure at home
and abroad for an investigation, Iran's parliament said it had formed a
committee to examine the case and the judiciary said it would deal 'quickly and
decisively' with those responsible. 'In its latest report, the seven-member
medical committee says ... it is not possible to determine the exact cause of
death,' IRNA quoted Tehran prosecutor's office as saying in a statement. 'But
the most likely cause leading to death may be shock,' the statement said, adding
that excessive psychological stress could have caused the shock."
http://t.uani.com/Ui0LSM <br />
<br />
<strong>AP:</strong> "In his last blog entry,
activist Sattar Beheshti wrote that Iranian authorities had given him an
ultimatum: Either stop posting his 'big mouth' attacks against the ruling system
or tell his mother that she will soon be in mourning. 'We will tear down your
cruel cage,' Beheshti typed on Oct. 29 before signing off... But while the
specific circumstances of Beheshti's death may be given a public reckoning, the
more far-reaching aspect of the case - Iran's rapidly growing corps of Web
watchers - may remain in the shadows, as well as their motives in targeting an
obscure blogger whose site was actively followed by more than a few dozen
viewers. The 35-year-old Beheshti apparently fell under the custody of Iran's
cyber police, created last year with a wide mandate to crush Web dissent. The
powers displayed in the case - including questioning Beheshti outside the
regular justice system - suggests a level of autonomy and authority that could
bring far more aggressive measures against Web activists."

Analysis</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong>Kristen McTighe in IHT:</strong>
"Houshang Asadi was a Communist journalist thrown into the cold confines of
Moshtarek prison in Iran when he found an unlikely friend in the tall, slender
Muslim cleric who greeted him with a smile. Imprisoned together in 1974, under
the rule of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, they found common ground in their
passion for literature. They shared jokes, spoke of where they came from, their
families and falling in love. Mr. Asadi, who did not smoke, would give
cigarettes to his cellmate who, uncharacteristic of a cleric, did. On days when
Mr. Asadi felt broken, he said, the cleric would invite him to take a walk in
their cell to brighten his spirits. So, when his release came six months later
and the cleric stood cold and trembling, Mr. Asadi gave him his jacket. 'At
first he refused it, but I told him I was going to be released,' Mr. Asadi
recalled. 'Then we hugged each other and he had tears coming down his face. He
whispered in my ear, Houshang, when Islam comes to power, not a single tear will
be shed from an innocent person.' What Mr. Asadi found unimaginable was that the
cleric would become president of the Islamic Republic that later imprisoned him
again, sentenced him to death and brutally tortured him for six years in the
same prison. Today that same cleric is the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei. Mr. Asadi's account of torture and imprisonment has offered a rare
glimpse into what activists say was a decade of grave human rights violations in
Iran. And at a time when international attention has shifted to the nuclear
issue and sanctions, they say a campaign to bring justice and accountability
through a symbolic tribunal has helped unite a once fractured opposition. 'I
never expected he would get power, never,' said Mr. Asadi in an interview in
Paris, where he lives in exile. Mr. Asadi, a 63-year-old writer, journalist and
former member of the Tudeh party, was routinely arrested and tortured under the
shah. He had supported the revolution, so when he was arrested again in 1982 and
accused of being a spy for the Russians and the British, he was convinced that
it was a mistake. In a plea for help, his wife wrote to Mr. Khamenei, who had
risen to power as president after the Islamic revolution, but two weeks later
the letter was returned with a note in the margin saying only that he had been
aware of the journalist's political beliefs. Mr. Asadi's death sentence was
reduced to 15 years in prison. During his time in prison, he again developed a
relationship with the only person he had contact with - as he had done with Mr.
Khamenei. This time it was with his torturer, a man he knew only as 'Brother
Hamid.' 'He is your torturer and he thinks he is your god, he thinks he is
religious, he is pure, and you are evil, you are the enemy,' Mr. Asadi said. 'So
he can do anything to you.' Mr. Asadi said he was called a 'useless wimp' and
hung by a chain attached to his arms twisted behind his back while the soles of
his feet were whipped until he was unable to walk. Brother Hamid forced him to
bark like a dog to speak or when the pain was too much and he was ready to make
confessions. His ears were hit and his teeth were broken. Mr. Asadi said he had
even been forced to eat his own excrement and the excrement of fellow
prisoners. Beyond physical pain, he endured psychological torture. He was shown
coffins and told his comrades had been killed. He would hear screams and was
made to believe his wife was being tortured in the cell next to him... The
torture continued daily for six years, until he was abruptly pulled out of his
cell in 1988 when the supreme leader at the time, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini,
ordered the mass killing of thousands of political prisoners. Prisoners were
asked three questions concerning their religious faith and loyalty to the
regime. 'If you answered no to any question, they killed you,' Mr. Asadi said.
'I lied to save my life.'" http://t.uani.com/Y8dLgB<br />

<o></o>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Listening to President Obama speak on election
night, I thought of the moment in “The Lion King” when Scar took over Pride
Rock. (You have to see the movie to just appreciate D’Souza’s right-on analogy)
My sentiment for America was perfectly captured by the accompanyin g song, “Be
Prepared.”<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Be prepared, America, for another $5 trillion
dollars in debt. That means America would be over $20 trillion in debt, one
half of it added by one man, Barack Obama.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Be prepared for higher taxes on those who are
pulling the wagon, and more benefits for those who are sitting in the wagon.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Be prepared for further restrictions on hydraulic
fracturing and oil drilling in America, even as President Obama promotes and
subsidizes oil drilling in developing nations.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Be prepared for transfers of wealth away from
America and to the rest of the world.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This is what we as a country have voted for.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Be prepared, also, for the further diminution of
American power and influence in the world. This involves our allies falling,
one by one, in the Middle East, while the radical Muslims consolidate their
power in Iran, Egypt and elsewhere.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Ultimately just as Reagan was largely
responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union, President Obama may be credited
by history for helping to rest ore Islam as a global power, which it has not
been for three centuries.</span></i></strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> By 2016 America could cease to
be the world’s sole superpower, and have become rather a weak giant, a kind of
second Canada. This, too, we have risked by giving President Obama a second
term.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">These predictions are not conjecture
but rather projections out from what President Obama has been doing in his
first term.</span></i></strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> As he suggested to Russia’s then-president
Medvedev, Mr. Obama now has more flexibility to make the concessions and pursue
the objectives that he really wants. He is, at least in foreign policy,
untethered to public opinion, and answerable only to his own conscience. <em>(a concept completely alien to narcissists)
disk<o></o></em></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">For me, this is a scary prospect. I can see
America in 2016 as a poorer, weaker nation, and this would make Americans
frustrated and angry.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">But why should President Obama care?<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">He would, as he cleared out his desk,
feel the profound satisfaction of a man who had single-handedly rearranged the
political and economic map of the world. He would have helped redistribute
wealth and power globally, and th us restored the world as it was before
colonialism.</span></i></strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> His reward would be that still, small voice
inside his head telling him, “Well done thou true and faithful servant.”<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Consequently you can imagine the amusement with
which I watched pundits, including Democratic pundits like Lanny Davis, counsel
President Obama to be like President Clinton in his second term. Sure, Mr.
Clinton pivoted to the center, recognizing that he was governing a closely
divided country. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><strong><br /></strong></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><strong>Clinton,
however, was committed to American prosperity and American greatness; Obama
isn’t. Clinton also wanted to be liked by his people, the American people. For
Obama, to borrow a quotation from his mother, “These are not my people.”</strong> Obama’s
commitments are global.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So I don’t expect Obama to change. I have argued
in my book “Obama’s America,” and implied in my film “2016,” that he cannot
change. He is like the toy soldier who walks into the wall and keeps going.
That is the only Obama we can realistically expect for the next four years.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">And yet …<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I watched Obama closely on election
night, recognizing the familiar hubris and bravado</span></i></strong><i><span style="font-family: Times, serif;">, I
thought to myself: how brilliant he is, how he strides across America like a
colossus, how he may have assembled a new and enduring majority, how this is
his America now, how this man whose story is possible only in America has now
twice been entrusted by America with the highest office in the land.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Isn’t that enough to make a man want to defend and
advance the interest of his country? Isn’t it sufficient to make Obama seek to
protect the economic welfare of his fellow citizens over that of the citizens
of other countries? Ideology may not compel Obama to move in these directions,
but his own self-image might. Obama has been raised on high by the American
people, who are looking to him to lead them not down the hill but onward and
upward, to greater and higher things.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">How incredible it would be if Obama responded to
this great trust by proving himself worthy of it. That would truly make him one
of America’s great presidents. He would even, in this way, be helping the
world, because a strong, thriving America is good for the security and
prosperity of the world. Maybe this very smart man can rise above his past and
figure that out.<o></o></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
